The Canucks met the Calgary Flames on Hockey Day in Canada and welcomed back Dan Hamhuis, whose face is finally okay again! Division rivals and playoff foes, this game was poised to be a thriller. It was not, but here’s a recap anyway!

THE GOALS

Michael Frolik opened the scoring midway through the second period on a play that saw Chris Tanev involved in an odd-man rush that wasn’t perfectly defended. The horror!
The Flames doubled their lead late in the third. Sean Monahan wired home this nice feed from Hudler as Tanev fell. It was a rough night for Chris. 
After the Flames’ first goal on the Canucks’ empty net, Emerson Etem scored his first goal as a Canuck! The Flames then scored another empty netter. 
The Canucks offense seemed to generate very little tonight. Sadly, Sven Baertschi did not score against his former team, preventing the “svengeance” joke from being made. Tragic.

OTHER STUFF

  • After suffering such a brutal injury, you would forgive Dan Hamhuis if he was a little bit rusty tonight. The rust wasn’t there, though – he had himself a very nice night.
  • Michael Ferland ignored his mother’s wishes and hit Daniel Sedin, so Luca Sbisa fought him. Luca tried his best, but this was probably the best part of the scuffle for him:
Look at him dab though:
